NAME

RDF::Simple::Parser

DESCRIPTION

a simple RDF/XML parser - 
reads a string containing RDF in XML
returns a 'bucket-o-triples' (array of arrays)

SYNOPSIS

   my $uri = 'http://www.zooleika.org.uk/bio/foaf.rdf';
   my $rdf = LWP::Simple->get($uri);

   my $parser = RDF::Simple::Parser->new(base => $uri)
   my @triples = $parser->parse_rdf($rdf);
   
   # returns an array of array references which are triples

METHODS

new( [ base => 'http://example.com/foo.rdf' ])

create a new RDF::Simple::Parser

'base' supplies a base URI 
for relative URIs found in the document

parse_rdf($rdf)

accepts a string which is an RDF/XML document
(complete XML, with headers)

returns an array of array references which are RDF triples.

NOTES

This parser is a transliteration of 
Sean B Palmer's python RDF/XML parser:

http://www.infomesh.net/2003/rdfparser/    

Thus the idioms inside are a bit pythonic.
Most credit for the effort is due to sbp.
